Purchasing Project Material

As part of the manufacturing process, you must purchase the raw materials that are used to produce the end item. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Engineer to Order offers several methods for creating purchase orders for raw material. In addition to generating work orders from planning messages, you can also enter purchase orders manually, either from the parts list for the work order or directly from the Purchase Orders program.

When you enter a purchase order for a project-specific stock item, the system creates a financial commitment for the purchase order by updating the Account Balances table (F0902) with the committed amount. At the same time, it removes the manufacturing encumbrance if such an encumbrance exists when you enter the purchase order. The system creates only manufacturing encumbrances, provided that you have selected the Interface to Job Cost option for the project. Finally, the system records the purchase order transaction in the P.O. Detail Ledger File - Flexible Version table (F43199).

If the quote has been accepted, you can call the Work Order Parts List program (P3111) for a particular work order from the Project Workbench form and access the Purchase Orders program from it. Before you run the Accept Quote process, you can enter the purchase directly in the Purchase Orders program and access the Work Order Parts List program (P31P201) to select the item for the purchase order.
